Coronavirus Making Gas Prices Plummet

It seems that the only thing anyone is talking about is the Coronavirus. There are many negative conversations swirling around the outbreak. Now there may be a silver lining in the decline of gas prices. According to CBS 6 Albany, the app GasBuddy, which tracks gas prices all over the country is predicting that gas prices will be declining by the end of March. The fear of the Coronavirus on the economy and the oversupply of oil are the reasons that gas prices could be just two dollars a gallon by April.

Gas Buddy predicts that the average gallon of gas in the region could be two dollars and twenty-nine cents by this weekend. In the next two weeks near two dollars and nineteen cents. Then the decline could continue to reach two dollars per gallon by the first of April.
